Steve Buscemi officially became my favorite actor after watching Fargo. I have watched The Big Lebowski well over 100 times and gotten many to appreciate the film on the same level that I do. I was prepared to never watch the Oscars again if Javier Bardem didn’t win Best Supporting Actor for No Country For Old Men (thank God he did). Raising Arizona made me understand that, at one point, Nic Cage was a funny, respectable actor. Needless to say, I love the Coen Brothers and I do not hide it.
Needless to say, my heart rate doubled when I discovered, shortly after reading that the film would premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, that the trailer for the Coen Brothers next film, A Serious Man, was available online. So far, this is one of the best trailers I have seen all year and would be the best had it not been for Where the Wild Things Are. The trailer is brilliant, especially in its sound editing. If you are expecting some major movie stars like the ones the brothers landed in Burn After Reading, you will be sincerely disappointed, but it really shouldn’t matter to you. The movie is scheduled to have a limited released October 2 (a total joke), but hopefully it will expand after that.
Watch in HD over at Apple or find the trailer after the jump:
